FreQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

In this post, I will share some of the frequently asked questions from parents:

1. ​How is your teaching style different from other tutors?

Many tutors will wait for students to ask questions after giving them tons of questions to do during lesson. For me, I DO NOT spend time making the student do questions after questions while I wait. 

Instead, I will ask the correct questions through proper questioning technique and provide quality practice questions in order to sieve out misconceptions which students themselves are unaware of. This can only be done through years of experience.

2. ​How do your lessons value-add to what my child has already learnt at school?

Most teachers rush through content in school, neglecting the importance of teaching proper exam techniques required to ace the examination. 

To sharpen answering skills, I will teach:

1. Proper question reading technique 
2. Correct mindset when answering questions
3. Question Analysis
4. Understanding how template answers work
5. Importance of precision in answers - knowing what the markers want
   
6. Elimination technique
   
7. C3 answering technique and much more.  

I will also reteach topics which students are weak in to bridge the gap between concept and application. With a structured strategy, students will be able to gain confidence and excel in the exams.

3. ​Do I need to buy assessment books?

No. I do not encourage buying of assessment books.

​Personalised materials for teaching and learning will be provided for every session. I will assess the needs of every student individually by using a diagnostic test on the first lesson. Personalised materials will be prepared to tackle specific problem areas.
